The drawing clown moves
Philip Vielmetter’s automaton from 1897 combines mechanics and performance. Look at where the movement is transmitted and what illusion the closed casing creates.
Playing in the twentieth century
LEGO, Mobaco, Game Boy and leesplankjes (traditional Dutch reading boards) feature in a temporary display until the end of October 2026. Compare free building, rules and digital play.
A warehouse with changes in level
The intimate rooms give toys a domestic scale, but the upper floors are not wheelchair accessible. The Wonderkamer and digital resources offer an alternative on the ground floor.
Before you go
Only the ground floor is wheelchair accessible. The temporary exhibition ends 31 October 2026; public holidays and December days differ. Ask about the digital alternative for the upper floors.
